Eijiro Kobayashi, "Moonlit Pagoda"

Originally produced in c. 1930s, the night scene prints of Hasegawa/Nishinomiya are atmospheric and unburdened by large amounts of color. Dominated by palettes of blue and black, the simplicity of the designs are striking. Here we see two figures visiting a five-tier pagoda in a full moon-lit evening.
